Red Maruti Suzuki Swift hatchback, front angle

The Maruti Suzuki Swift specifications centre on one engine, the Z12E 1.2 litre three cylinder petrol with idle start/stop. It makes 82 bhp at 5700 rpm and 112.4 Nm at 4500 rpm from 1197 cc. That is modest power, but the car is light, with the heaviest petrol manual weighing 924 kg.

Gearbox choice runs to a 5 speed manual and a 5 speed AMT, and the CNG automatic carries Maruti's AGS badge. The AMT is certified as more efficient than the manual, which makes the automatic an easy pick for city buyers. On CNG the engine makes 69 bhp and 101.8 Nm at 2900 rpm.

On fuel, the petrol manual is rated 25.35 km/l and the AMT 26.25 km/l, figures Maruti's brochure calls best in segment. The S-CNG manual reaches 35.07 km/kg and the CNG AGS 35.34 km/kg. The petrol tank holds 37 litres, and the CNG cylinder has a 55 litre water capacity.

The body is 3860 mm long, 1735 mm wide and 1520 mm tall on a 2450 mm wheelbase, with 163 mm of ground clearance and a 4.8 metre turning radius. The petrol car's boot holds 265 litres. Maruti gives no boot figure for the CNG versions, which also swap the spare wheel for a tyre repair kit. The LXi, VXi and VXi (O) trims use 165/80 R14 tyres, while the ZXi and ZXi+ move to 185/65 R15.

The core safety kit is standard on every trim: six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP with hill hold, ISOFIX and rear parking sensors. Ventilated discs at the front and drums at the rear do the braking, with MacPherson struts up front and a torsion beam behind. Only the ZXi+ adds a wide-angle reverse camera.

Maruti Suzuki Swift power and torque explained

The Swift uses one engine, a 1.2 litre three cylinder, and Maruti sells it as a petrol or as a factory CNG car. On petrol it makes 83 PS (82 bhp) and 112.4 Nm. Running on CNG, the same engine gives 70 PS (69 bhp) and 101.8 Nm, which is a normal drop when an engine runs on gas.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 1.2L Z12E S-CNG spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

On petrol, the strongest pull comes at 4500 rpm and full power at 5700 rpm. That is a gap of only 1200 rpm, so this engine gives its best when the revs are kept up. For a quick overtake, shift down a gear first. Maruti rates it at 25.35 km/l with the manual and 26.25 km/l with the AMT, so the automatic uses no more fuel. You can compare the petrol trims on features and price to pick one.

On CNG, peak torque arrives much earlier, at 2900 rpm, while full power still comes at 5700 rpm. That 2800 rpm gap is wide, so one gear covers a lot of ground in town traffic. Both peaks are lower than on petrol, so expect to shift down more on the highway or with a full car. Maruti rates it at 35.07 km/kg with the manual and 35.34 km/kg with the AGS automatic. If you drive a lot every day, see how far the Swift CNG goes on a kilo.
